Robots Killing Humans by Mistake

OH NO! THE ROBOTS ARE KILLING US!!! BUT WHY?!? WE NEVER PROGRAMMED THEM TO DO THIS!!! static bool isCrazyMurderingRobot = false; void interact_with_humans (void){ if(isCrazyMurderingRobot = true) kill(humans); else be_nice_to(humans); }

A comic shows robots attacking humans while a programmer examines code containing an accidental assignment instead of a comparison, causing the robot to kill humans. The joke is about a classic programming error: using = instead of == makes the condition true.
